Smile your pain away Cry your happy times You fail to realize that I am in your mind; However, you look to the outside for the unqualified feelings inside. I am an unfinished picture waiting for you to see. I'm crying out for help, but no one has ears to hear me. Write how you feel in words misunderstood. Look within your poetic cries and realize you have to be yourself while letting no man tell you otherwise.
